Visual Arts: Bas-relief, Fountains, Other, Sculpture; Monumental

I believe the character of a person’s heart is written in the lines of their face. In the sculptures I create, I seek to capture the subject and the emotions that were, or are, the driving force behind their actions and deeds. I also try to embody at least one of the five following tenets in the scenes I create: • a sense of Community – the respect and fervor with which we serve each other; • a sense of Heritage – bringing the past alive in a way that embodies the future; • a sense of Family – the hope, faithfulness and constancy we find in the ties that bind; • a sense of Honor – for those who serve, protect, defend and lead our nation, in our communities and in the world in civil, military, educational, non-profit, political and ministerial capacities; and • a sense of Faith – hope, belief and faith in the true purpose we were created for that lifts us beyond ourselves and our own capacities to reach out to our fellow man in serving others through the gifts endowed by the Creator.

Mark Yale Harris

Architectural; Visual Arts: Bas-relief, Sculpture

My artwork invokes an awakening of the sensual. Stimulating a perceptual, internal, and intellectual response for the viewer: a visual that speaks to life’s experiences. Creating symbols of universal connection underscores the relationship that one has to another and to nature. Art conveys my nonverbal view of life. An ongoing portrayal of myself, my behavior, adventure, exploration, risk taking, and non-acceptance of convention and the status quo. Life has a hard, aggressive side, as does much of my work, represented by rigid, angular lines. However, the soft side is also apparent, visible as curves and soft forms. Award-winning sculptor Mark Yale Harris works in alabaster, marble, limestone and bronze, expressing the duality in mans’ essence. Career highlights: 250+ national and international gallery and museum exhibitions (90+ solo); 120+ publications have featured his sculpture; he is represented by twenty galleries (US and UK); and has works in permanent public collections.
